A post shared by Lewis K Gibson | Ice Dancer (@lewisgibson4)Gibson and Fear wow’d the judges at the ISU Grand Prix event with a trip back to the ’80s, earning a second-place finish skating along to the classic dance-floor hits, Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” and “Here Comes the Rain Again.” Their routine featured eye-dropping level-four twizzles and perfectly executed pattern steps.
Then, the 2023 European silver medalists gave an inspiring performance to the Rocky soundtrack, whirling and twirling their way to first place in the free dance.
In addition, Gibson and Fear included some shadow boxing and pantomime jump rope exercises into their stellar routine. Gibson even dropped down for some pushups… on the ice!“We are both happy with our performance and will continue to build our program,” said Gibson, via GoldenSkate. “It was great to skate in front of such a warm audience.”Fear added that Japan is their favorite place to compete. “I am still shaking.
The energy was so electric!,” she said. While Gibson and Fear have enjoyed an incredible run (more on that later), it’s fair to say their Grand Prix gold was a true highlight.
